Majesty of Calmness

"Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power,--ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis." So begins "The Majesty of Calmness" by William George Jordan, a classic how to on achieving the inner peace of calmness.
